Gladstone – Pits and Pots

The wonderful architecture of this last complete Victorian Pottery Museum in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent encapsulates the pottery scene during the Industrial Revolution. The pottery and coal industries worked together in producing the coal to fire the kilns to the creation of English fine bone china.

  2. Hi Shirl, I'm really pleased you liked my Gladstone photographs. It is one of my favourite projects too. The whole place was an inspiration, must go back there some day. Lovely to hear from you. Jane x
